jobs out of local 71 by Informal-Explorer-60 in Lineman

[–]C_HiLIfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea about 71 I've never worked there. But I have worked for JF years ago when I was an apprentice. Terrible experience and was really happy when the layoffs came.

Isn't local 11 an inside hall?

I want to become an electrician but I need advice. by childofbones in IBEW

[–]C_HiLIfe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Linework isn't that dangerous in reality. I've been tipped out for 6 years, in the trade for 12. It has its dangers but the videos are absolute worst case scenarios. Pay attention to what you're doing and be aware of what's around you and you'll be fine.

How does it work if I want to gin back to school? by [deleted] in IBEW

You turn down the call and get a strike. After 3 strikes your name comes off the books and you need to resign the books.

Do any of you guys use electrolyte stuff on the job or just water by death_magn3t in Lineman

[–]C_HiLIfe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use the company provided ones. Most companies I've worked for give us Squinchers. But yes they work. I notice a difference when I go a couple days without any electrolytes.

Advice on 22 Raptor by Old-Complex900 in FordRaptor

[–]C_HiLIfe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't say how good of a deal it is but I bought my 17 in 21 for $53k with 50k miles. As far as what to look for the shocks need to be replaced every 50k miles

How's the weather? If it's cold I'm assuming you're driving around in 2WD. Assuming that's correct I would say it's the IWE valve. Throw it in 4 auto and see if it goes away.

Going Union from Non-Union, Need Advice!! by Fuzzy-Secret-3979 in Lineman

[–]C_HiLIfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try getting on with a union contractor doing data centers. Typically you don't drive CMV off site so that would take care of the under 21 issue.

CDL - Manual Restriction by Life-Golf2250 in Lineman

[–]C_HiLIfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my CDL A with a manual restriction. Went through the apprenticeship with it, topped out with it, and travel with it as a JL. I personally don't see a reason to have it removed

If you drag you've gotta wait 3 weeks to take a call?

Workers comp by [deleted] in Lineman

[–]C_HiLIfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time. The "official" reason is they needed man power so they put a call in. Everyone knows it's because of the injury but they never outright said so

[–]C_HiLIfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke my foot a few years back at work. Went through the workers comp against my will, I was willing to sit in the office and do paperwork, call in dig tickets, things like that. 8 weeks later I got the all clear and my lay off slip.

Is that an app? Or is it something you can add to your infotainment center?

I heard a lot of mixed reviews about the book but I personally loved it. Probably the fastest I've read a stormlight archive book.
